Patented Apr. 24, 1917.

anuzutoz combustion chamber with the arm 28-on the check draft cover 26 ausing the cover to swing, up and permifft ing the outer air to pass into the check drift chamber thereby reducin acting the draft through the stove cools down minish and the thermostatic elements will contract, and'when the pressureds removed from the lever 33 the check draft cover will swing down of its own Weak-ht.

Surrounding the stpve us described is a canopy 40, preferably constructed of sheet metal of flaring form, a fabric curtain '41 being hung from its lower edge. The canopy is provided with a central opening, about the edges of which is secured a metallic ring 42 having an inturned flange 43 which hangs on the outer edge of the combustion chamber section 16, the flange being cut away slightly at the points where it encircles the magazine 22 and the flue opening 24, and the ring 41 being offset or recessed as at 44 to accommodate the link 38. By this arrangement the draft and fuel openings are located outside of the canopy.

In Fig. 3 I have shown the magazine 22- 'removedand the opening into the section 41 closedjby a removable cover 45, it being usual to supply each stove with not only the removable magazine 22 but also a cover such as the one 45 to close the opening to the to employ the magazine.

Means are provided for raising the canopy from the stove, consistin of a bail 46, hinged to ears on the metal ic ring 42 and a rope 47 passing about pulleys 48.

Having thus described my invention, I

the draft and fuel openings are located.
